"The site of the Old St. Luke’s Hospital is now the location of the office for the Arthritis Foundation. The site’s got a long history and death associated with it, so of course there are rumors that 314 Palmetto Street is a ghostly haunt. In 1878, the Old St. Luke’s hospital was constructed to house local tuberculosis patients. About 40 years later the hospital was relocated. After that, the old structure was used by other businesses, supposedly even a coffin manufacturing company. The story goes that the place is haunted by patients, nurses still roam the halls and an unbalanced lady who believes that the men building coffins were building one just for her. Since she’s supposed to be a ghost, she’s probably right."
